Michael Pancheri's journey to chef at Allium Restaurant in Great Barrington, MA has its roots in his early interest in food and cooking as a child. Listen while he tells Heirloom Meals Radio about his most memorable food from childhood, Cornish Pasties. His cooking evolved with each stint he had at various restaurants including Hamersley's Bistro in Boston to wd-50 in New York City.

Michael brings all his experiences to the food he now serves at Allium with a bias toward local, in-season ingredients and a farm-to-table menu.
